Faces Painted Red

Every 4-5 days we shoot a warthog or an impala to feed our cheetahs in the boma. We drag the carcass into the boma and watch the girls take over. They slap the ground and hiss at us until they feel comfortable enough to grab the carcass and drag it to a shady spot where they begin their feast!

Here are some photo's from this mornings feed - Askari, Thulile and Bukeka.

These lovely ladies have become incredibly brave - I can't wait to release them onto the reserve and watch them fend for themselves! :)

About Me

My life has done a 360 from Marketing and Business Administration to Field Guiding and Game Ranging - City slicker turned bush baby.
As a little girl I always dreamed about becoming a Game Ranger. After school I got side tracked and decided to study Marketing. After 4 years of studying and 2 years of working in the industry I gave up my city life and moved to the bush to follow my dream! I made the decision to trade my financial security for happiness and yes, I am happy!
